Abstract

Power transformer efficiency measurements are a crucial part of the acceptance tests of a power transformer. These tests have increased importance since the EU Ecodesign Directive per 1 July 2015 has put efficiency limits to power transformers that are sold on the European market. In this paper we present a series of measures to assure that power transformer efficiency tests performed by power transformer manufacturers are accurate and reliable. This includes the development of more accurate industrial loss measure-ment systems (LMS), optimized LMS calibration approaches, and a reference system for on-site LMS calibration.
